Sydney’s Dread Removal

May 31, 2013 | Shikote

Dread Removal. It’s quite the process! The key to taking out dreads is to replace them with a totally cute hairstyle!

Sydney and her beautiful dreads! One year and nine months old.

I cut off most of her dreads. There is a point on dreads where, if you look closely, you can see when the matting changes. I left as much length as we could without killing our hands from the comb-out process.

The three of us got to work combing out Sydney’s dreads. I think it took around 5 hours from start to finish.

Sydney’s new totally hip and beautiful curly haircut! Complete with double dreads rat tail!!

Love! You look beautiful Sydney!

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA — Clayton came for his first haircut at Grateful Dreads!

We watched some really huge bees ravishing these flowers.

We saw about five distinctly different bees. This is a honey bee. My favorite kind!

After a short break at Crazy Wisdom to look at some pics for editing, and a lovely little tea party, I met with Sydney back at Grateful Dreads! We put in her dreads exactly a year ago! I like that she left out her bangs. It adds softness and design.

We went to The Espresso Bar afterwards for yummy almond milk lattes!

A very hip spot! I’m so happy to have them as neighbors!
